88 reasons to love the GP-9’s keyboard

The Roland GP-9 comes equipped with 88 Piano Reality Hybrid Concert keys. These keys offer playability that’s hard to distinguish from a true, concert-class acoustic grand. Roland achieved this through progressive hammer action with escapement to nail a response that’s filled with the intricacies of performance. In fact, an advanced acceleration sensing technology will keep all your fast-paced staccatos or sweeping pianissimo notes supremely intact. Fine details, like long key pivot length and unique haptic vibration, round out the acoustic-like feel and response of the keys. The GP-9’s keyboard comprises hybrid wood and Ivory Feel materials, making for a classic acoustic grand feel and durability that will last for years to come. To accompany the keys, you have the required sustain, soft, and sostenuto pedals, complete with damper modeling. These components add up to playability that can stand up to intense classical solos and traditional pedal techniques.

Highly detailed sound system and 324 tones

When playing the Roland GP-9 Digital Grand Piano - Polished Ebony, you’ll be treated to room-filling sound whether you’re playing a Chopin sonata or your favorite song via Bluetooth. With its Piano Reality Concert projection sound system, the GP-9 sings out with detailed sound, living response, and complex tonal colors. The GP-9 achieves this concert-class grand piano sound with eight speakers: one cabinet, three spatial, two center nearfields, and two nearfields. The speakers, coupled with first-rate audio circuitry, advanced sonic processing, and multichannel amplification, expel glorious sound that’ll inspire at the touch of a key. In fact, the notes you play mirror the physical string positions of an actual acoustic grand’s soundboard — you’ll feel the piano come alive under your fingers. And, with 324 tones onboard, including four grands, five uprights, 12 electric, 12 organs, and much more, you’ll hear every instrument you play in rich detail. What’s more, you can engage the Piano Reality Ambience to hear your music sound like its in a studio, a lounge, a concert hall, or even a cathedral.

The digital advantage

Roland has long been an industry leader in digital pianos, and they have built the GP-9 with advanced technologies that bring you a universe of advantages over traditional acoustic pianos. Perhaps most obviously, volume control is infinitely controllable, and the weight is less than half that of an acoustic grand. Connect headphones to play at all hours without disturbing others. Use Twin Piano mode to play duets with a family member, friend, or teacher. Roland packed the GP-9 Digital Grand with world-class grand piano sounds, but players can also contour sounds more precisely through the onboard Piano Designer tools. This makes it easy to adjust string tuning and temperament, shape cabinet resonances, fine-tune keyboard sensitivity and duplex scaling, and more. And of course, without the need for tuning and regular maintenance, the GP-9 will always sound perfect!
